While many people enjoyed Racine's sandy treasure, others apparently decided to fight near the North Beach Oasis and Kids Cove playground. Racine Uncovered has details of a wild afternoon at the beach.
Several police officers, including the K9 unit, were called to the area to control a rowdy crowd. By 8pm, all access to the beach was shut down to disperse the crowd, but a large group of people continued to cause problems on Barker Street around 9:15 p.m.
The problems aren't a surprise to police. The City Council voted last week to allow Chief Kurt Wahlen to spend an additional $33,000 on bike patrols for North Beach.
The JT is reporting few problems at the beach, saying the last-day-of-school went "relatively smoothly" on North Beach.
Police or not, thousands of people enjoyed themselves at North Beach Wednesday. Here's a few snaps that show the fun:
